What you'll learn
  • →Understand that interview questions are rarely about what they appear to be about.
  • →Learn to spot the hidden question: "Tell me about a time you failed" is really asking "how do you recover."
  • →Practice answering the real question instead of the surface one.
Proof task

Take the question "What's your biggest weakness?" Write the surface answer (the weakness itself). Now write the real answer (what you've done about it). The second one is what they're actually listening for. Do this for three more common questions.
